| 4/30/26 |  Solaris, by Stanislaw Lem (feat. Ben DeBono) | The time has come again for us to talk about a weird, slow science fiction movie, so I reached out to my favorite guest for such films, Ben DeBono from The Sci-Fi Christian.

| 2/28/26 |  The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan, Part Two (Disney+ series, season two) | Following up on our previous episode, we cover the latest season of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters, which is by almost any measurement a better adaptation than the movie. I’d been sick a looong time and wasn’t quite out of the woods at the time of recording, so make some … Continue reading The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan, Part Two (Disney+ series, season two) → | — | ||||||
| 1/31/26 |  The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan, Part One (2006 book/2013 movie) | We return to Percy Jackson and the Mystifying Adaptations with Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the 2013 movie based on The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan. Will this movie right the ship and kick of the remaining three movies into a successful and beloved quintilogy? (It will not.)

| 10/18/25 |  Data Outta Compton! (War of the Worlds 2025) | Double-dipping this month, covering a couple of previously covered books that got new adaptations. First up, the absolutely delightful nonsense that is The War of the Worlds, starring Ice Cube. | — | ||||||
| 9/27/25 |  Assistant *to* the Regional Major (The Long Walk, by Stephen King) | Seth was under the weather after returning from doing the Cotswold Way hike in England, so to protect the other guys from germs, this was recorded on his backyard patio, so please forgive the neighbor dog’s squeaky toy accompaniment. Rankings!

| 7/26/25 |  Murderbot (S1:E7-10) “We can rank about it.” | We discuss the final four episodes of Season One of Murderbot, then discuss the season as a whole, and then have a long post-script about what project to undertake after we cover one more robot story. (Hint: both possibilities begin with the letter S.) | — | ||||||
| 6/21/25 |  Murderbot (S1:E3-6) “I wanted elliptical travel!” | Our continuing coverage of Murderbot, er, continues. We spend a bit of time discussing the pacing of the series. What do you think? | — | ||||||
| 5/21/25 |  Murderbot (S1:E1-2) | We’re doing a Murderbot series! We reacted to the trailer, and now we’re covering the first two episodes. We’ll do at least two more of these to cover the full season.

| 5/5/25 |  Murderbot Trailer discussion/reaction | We recorded some quick thoughts that ironically take a while to get to about the Murderbot trailer and what we hope to see in the series. Happy May the Fourth! Murderbot is a droid, so it’s clearly canon. | — | ||||||
| 4/29/25 |  TMTYR: The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown (feat. Peter Kuskie) | We got to go see The Wild Robot at our local SF Film Festival, so we figured it was high time we covered this terrific movie, and we were joined by Colin’s elder son, Peter.

| 4/12/25 |  Interview with Edward Ashton, author of Mickey7 | We had a great conversation with Ed Ashton about his background in engineering and medical research, how he finds the time to write a novel every year, and how Mickey7 and Mickey-17 came to be. Edward’s website: https://www.edwardashton.com/ | — | ||||||
| 3/29/25 |  Plus or Minus 10 (Mickey7/Mickey-17) | This time the guys look at Mickey7, by Edward Ashton, and its new adaptation, Mickey-17. We pretty much go full spoilers for everything, so be warned. The book takes a couple of days to read, and the movie will be on streaming soon.

It’s a Christmas miracle! We’re covering The Hunt for Red October, by Tom Clancy, and its 1990 film adaptation. It’s fringy science fiction, but … Continue reading LMNOP-plots (The Hunt for Red October, by Tom Clancy, recorded at ) → | — | ||||||
| 12/1/24 |  Mad Max in the Jungle! (Penal Colony, by Richard Herley, and 1994’s No Escape) | Yes, we were going to be doing The Hunt For Red October. But we decided to kick that one down the road a month and replace it with a much less worthy movie, and an even less worthierer book. It’s the 1987 novel Penal Colony, by Richard Herley, and it’s a bit of a stinker. … Continue reading Mad Max in the Jungle! (Penal Colony, by Richard Herley, and 1994’s No Escape) → | — | ||||||

| 9/27/24 |  It’s not Jersey Boys! R.U.R, by Karel Čapek | This month, we keep things close to home, which makes sense given that last month we were quite far from home. We go small like we’ve never gone before, diving into a local adaptation of R.U.R., or Rossum’s Universal Robots, by Karel Čapek. It’s not necessary to have gone to our local theater for the … Continue reading It’s not Jersey Boys! R.U.R, by Karel Čapek → | — | ||||||
| 8/31/24 |  Live at Glasgow 2024 WorldCon! Games/Video Games Adapted to Film! | We had a fun time recording live at WorldCon with a few select friends in the audience, talking about games and video games adapted into movies. And with a bonus quiz from listener and fellow podcaster Andy Parry. We discuss (briefly) Battleship, Doom, and Clue, and also mention a number of other game to movie … Continue reading Live at Glasgow 2024 WorldCon! Games/Video Games Adapted to Film! → | — | ||||||
| 7/27/24 |  Flubber Colonoscopy! (The Absent-Minded Professor/Flubber, based on “A Situation of Gravity,” by Samuel W. Taylor | This time we picked up a very hard to find story, “A Situation of Gravity,” by Samuel W. Taylor, which was adapted into the 1961 movie The Absent-Minded Professor and the 1996 remake Flubber. The story was originally published in the May 22, 1943 issue of Liberty magazine. We couldn’t find that. It was also anthologized in … Continue reading Flubber Colonoscopy! (The Absent-Minded Professor/Flubber, based on “A Situation of Gravity,” by Samuel W. Taylor → | — | ||||||
